O mundo fantástico da Sardinha Portuguesa

Yes, this is not a joke! You are Reading correctly, this post will be dedicated to the funny place called O MUNDO FANTASTICO DE SARDINHA PORTUGUESE, that I visited during my stay in Lisbon last month. This is a shop, wonderland, gallery, tourist attraction, it is very difficult for me to describe and call it with one proper word. The place is located in the Centre of Lisob, nearby ‘Rossio’ metro station, on the side of Praça de D. Pedro IV. Its colorful window screens and music playing cheerfully out of the doors attract tourist and me! You won’t have Any difficulties to find it!

ZATEm, THIS IS a store dedicated fully to SARDINES! Yes, Sardines ;). Portuguese eat a lot of seafood, fish and sardine. Both, fresh and Cannes ones. Hence it all they decided to open such a place in order to contribute them.

Inside the store you find shelves full of colorful Cannes of sardines. However, the packagings are not usual and simple! Each of them Has printed date on top of and listed 2 the most import ant events and birthday date of famous people who were born that year. Each of us can but personalized can of sardines for yourself, family or friends!

Inside is arranged very colorfully and BARWNY. Moving ceiling, mirrors in the floor, throne of QUEEN SARDINE, music that brings back to my mind circus.
Ok, I agree, overall you can feel a little bit of kitsch in this place (luckily no smell of fish!) but we should take it with a pinch of salt and smile. But it is a very creative place and cute idea. You should really visit it, take pictures and tempt yourself to buy a can of sardines as a souvenir or a gift.
